​One of the great challenges of our time is to not become numb. There is so much hurt, so much need, and so much conflict in the world today. It is very easy to become indifferent to the pain and problems of others. It is really easy to be overwhelmed by it all.

To save ourselves from emotional overload, we often hide it from our eyes. We deny the harshness of it, or we justify our inaction by reminding ourselves that there is really little we can do about it.

But we can’t hide it. We can’t deny it. And, we can do something about it. But first we must refuse to be numbed by it all. We must resist indifference. Fight it! Don’t be afraid. God will grant you the power to overcome it. The most important things to know and feel in this world are things we need divine strength to comprehend and overcome. Pray for strength. Then open your eyes and get to work.
